Quito Bento Machalele is 4 years old, he lives with his grandmother and
is in year 2 at Pre-School Flor da Infância. He likes games at school and moves around
with great ease, but he's not as good with the dances that they teach at
school.
His favourite part is ' mata bicho ' - breakfast time (means kill the bug). At first there wasn't food
for Quito, He knows that now there is always 'mata bicho' (the breakfast) and lunch.
Sometimes he drinks something he didn’t know before, milk, he even finds it
tasty. He doesn't know where all these good things come from, he's heard of 'a little gesture' and he somehow learned to say ' Khanimambo '. 'Obrigado' is the
word he says best in Portuguese.
